TS Fay UpDate from Samantha and Mr. Tigger

This is the latest doppler for our area 8:53! The storm is getting stronger now and will last through the night and until tomorrow sometime. Here is alink to a Volusia doppler loop! We are in Volusia County!So far we have power, but with the wind we aren't sure for how long! More rain, but no flooding where we are. It was fairly dry here until late this afternoon! So If you still see this in the morning, then we have no power.Samantha & Mr. TiggerLOCAL WEATHER REPORT

Our Grampy says this TS Fay reminds him of a good old-fashioned Nor'easter. We reminded him it will be here today and tomorrow and we didn't see anything much good about it. Stay safe! We hope you followed the hurricane preparedness checklist and have lots of food, water, batteries and cat food and treats!

I sure hope it won't be as bad for you as it has been for us... 20+ inches in Cocoa; even more in Melbourne, Palm Bay & the beaches. Could not get out this morning to go to hospital because of flooding... but as with all things, this too shall pass! Just not fast enough. Hope it won't be too too bad for all of you.Maggy & Zoey & Ann
